Earlier this year, New York City police officer unions reportedly reduced the number of police courtesy cards they hand out to their members — which stirred a big debate over what the cards are really for.

A distraught Queens student threatened to shoot up his high school in a warning etched on a desk because the student has “no friends,” police said Thursday.

As you watch the TV news today about the nation's kids walking out of school to force repeal of the 2nd amendment and to try to take your guns, may I remind you that Mao used the same strategy in 1966 to force Communist rule in China - a youth movement called the Red Guard.The same way Hitler used teenagers in his "Hitler Youth" movement, which became compulsory Nazi indoctrination for boys 10-18 years of age, to force Nazi rule in Germany. The same way Castro used the Popular Socialist Youth to overtake Cuba and install Communism. What happened next? The people cheered and handed over their guns to their new friends in the RESISTANCE Government. Then they executed them.This is not a new idea. This is straight out of the Commie playbook.Photo: Red Guards — high school and university students — wave copies of Chairman Mao Zedong's Little Red Book during a parade in June 1966 in Beijing's streets at the beginning of China's Cultural Revolution.

In a disgraceful decision, the NYS Parole Board has released convicted cop killer Herman Bell on parole. In May 1971 two heroic NYPD Officers, Joseph Piagentini and Waverly Jones, were murdered by members of the Black Liberation Army. Officer Jones was killed instantly. Officer Piagentini was shot and wounded and, while pleading for his life, was murdered by Herman Bell who continued to fire a total of 13 shots into him. Herman Bell was convicted of murder and sentenced to a term of 25 years to life.

This week the New York State Parole Board granted Herman Bell parole. This decision by the Parole Board is a shameful insult to the memory of Officers Piagentini and Jones and and a horrible indignity to their families.

My father was an NYPD Lieutenant in 1971 and attended the funerals of these two brave Officers. I remember how saddened my father and all New Yorkers were by these brutal murders. I don't think anyone then thought that a vicious murderer like Herman Bell would ever be released to walk the streets again.

Unfortunately too many people today choose to forget the sacrifices Police Officers make and how they put their lives in the line for the rest of us every day. Blue Lives Do Matter!!

Fake news- This was not the NYPD

It is common knowledge that NYPD transit officers target and disproportionately arrest black and brown Brooklyn commuters. The Community Service Society released a study in October 2017 which showed that 90% of the arrests for fare evasion in 2016 were of black and brown folks. Mr. Gonzalez's inaction on this issue is ...***REALITY CHECK***The NYPD watches turnstiles and targets the idiots who go through without paying, committing the crime of theft of service. They have no control over what race these cheapskates turn out to be.

The practice of using police staffers as prosecutors in Summons Court had drawn criticism from activists, elected officials and members of the legal community, but Lawrence Byrne, the NYPD's deputy commissioner for legal matters, said that preparing for trials and appeals was taxing the NYPD Legal Bureau's resources.

City Council members seized on the big raise Mayor de Blasio gave his new schools chancellor to push for raises for city cops.
